SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 750,718, dated January 26, 1904i. Application filed December 2, 1902. SerialNo.133,604. (No model.)

To a, whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWIN HUDSON SPEAR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York city, in the State of New York, and EDWARD MORIARTY, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Fulham, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Receiving, Delivering, Sorting, Io Registering, and Detecting (.iash, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in machines for receiving, delivering,-sorting, registering, and detecting cash.

The invention aims to provide a machine of the character above described in which is combined the principle of a cash-register and q a change deliverer or maker, the principle of the change deliverer or maker being such that the machine will deliver the correct amount of change between the cost of the article and a coin of greater value than the cost of the sale or deliver change equal in value to a coin of a denomination equal to the value of the change required.

The invention further aims to provide a machine of the above-referred-to character adapted for receiving and separating coins by 3 directing the same to various receivers or storage receptacles and delivering for the coins received, If required, the correct amount of change necessarythat is to say, the change required between the cost of the article or 3 5 sale and a coin of greater value than the cost of the article or sale or deliver change equal in value to a coin inserted in themachine and whenso delivering the change between the cost of the article and the sale and the coin 4 inserted in the machine to register the cash received or the cost of the article or sale.

The invention further aims to construct a machine for receiving, delivering, sorting, de

tecting, and registering cash, combining in itself the principle of a cash-register and change deliverer or maker and which shall be simple in its construction, strong, durable,

efiicient in its operation, and comparatively inexpensive to set up.

To this end the invention consistsof the 5 novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more specifically described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

Fig. 38 is an elevation of theadjustable plate used in the mechanism for releasing the door for the cashs'torage chamber. Fig. 39 is an elevation of the deflecting and detecting mechanism. Fig. is a detail thereof, and Fig. 11 is a detail view showing the lower portion of the finger for operating the. deflecting and detecting mechanisms for the coins and the locking mechanism for the keys. Referring to the drawings by reference characters, the frame 1 of the machine may be of any preferred form and constructed of a series of detachable front, rear, and side plates, and within the frame is arranged a pair of vertical standards or supports 2 3 for supporting various parts of the mechanism, to be hereinafter referred to. The lower portion of the'frame 1 is formed with a cash-storage chamber or receptacle 4:, having an open top, the purpose of which will be hereinafter referred to. The cash-storage chamber 4 is provided with a cover 5 for closing the open top thereof. This cover 5 is automatically opened when occasion requires by an operating mechanism, to be hereinafter referred to. The reference character 6 denotes a bank of key-levers fulcrumed on a bar 7. which is secured to the standards 2 3. The key-levers are constructed so that their rear ends are heavier .than their forward ends, which will cause the key-levers to be retained normally at their outer or forward ends in an elevated position. The inner ends of the key-levers extend to, the back of the frame 1, so they will engage and lie under. the lower ends of the sale-indicating rods 8. These latter extend in a vertical manner and are each provided with the studs or pins 9 and 10, the former arranged below the latter and, further, carry on their upperends the indicators or cards 11. The rods 8 also carry a coil compression-spring 12. When a key-lever is depressed, its respective rod 8 is elevated and the indicator 11 moved up into a recess 13, so that the inscription or amount of sale upon the indicator or card 11 can be read. The recess 13 is formed bya top plate 14 and front and rear plates 15 and 16. The plates 15 and 16 are constructed of glass, so that the indicator can be read therethrough.

Near the back of and to the supports 2 3 is connected a supporting-plate 17, provided with a pair of forwardly-projccting arms 18, in which is mounted a rock-shaft 19, carrying a downwardly-depending series of earns 20, Fig. 31. The number of the cams is such that one cam will be employed for each key-lever of the bank 6. The lower portion of each of the cams 20 is brought to a point, as at 21., and the inner edge of each of the cams at its lower portion is beveled, as at 22. The beveled edge 22 of each of the cams extends at a different inclination that is to say, the lower portions 'of the cams are beveled in a graduating manner, the cam for the key-lever for the lowest sale having its bevel the smallest, the bevel of the other cams gradually increasing in size. The function of this manner of beveling the cams will be hereinafter set forth. The series of cams is braced and reinforced by a rod 23, which extends approximately centrally therethrough.

The reference characters 24% 25 denote a pair of vertically-extending plates, which are secured to the shaft 19 and rod 23 and project a suitable distance above the shaft 19. Two of the cams 20 may be elongated, so as to extend above the shaft 19 in lieu of the employment of the plates 2 1 25. The plates 2% 25 are connected together and reinforced at their top by the stay-rod 26, and the plates 2t and 25 also carry a transversely-movable bar 27, termed a transferring-bar and which extends across the top of the majority of the cams 20. The bar 27 at one end adjacent to the plate 25 and on one side is provided with a notch 28 and at its other end adjacent to the plate 2 1 is provided with a stop-pin 29 for limiting the transverse movement in one direction of the bar 27. The latter is also provided with a slot 30 and, further, carries a fixed collar 31 and a coil-spring 32, the latter at one end bearing against one side of the collar 31 and at its other end against a slid-- able collar 33 on the bar 27. The latter extends through a bifurcated guide 34, which is also adapted to limit the movement in one di rection of the collar 33. The guide 34 is connected to the supporting-bar 17 and also forms a support for the rock-shaft 19. Extending above the plate 25 and slotted at its lower end, so that the rock-shaft 19 will not interfere with the motion of the transferring-arm 35, but pivoted upon the stayrod 26, is a toothed quadrant 37 is pivoted, as at 38, to

an' extension of the register-supporting frame 39. The toothed quadrant is adapted to mesh with the clutching-pinion 40 upon the trans-,

versely-movable register-wheel shaft 41-,which is suitably supported by the frame 39. The operating means for the shaft 41 will be hereinafter referred to.. The shaft 41 carries the registering-wheels 42, '43, 44, 45, 46, and 47, and the clutching-pinion 40 is adapted to engage and actuate the registering-wheel 43. The registering-wheel 43 is provided with openings to receive pins carried by the clutching-pinion 40. The latter may be of the same construction as the clutching-pinion 91, Fig. 25, or the register-Wheel 43 may behollowed out, so that the pinion 40 may be partly concealed therein. The operation of the shaft 41, pinion 40, and register-Wheel 43 will be hereinafter referred to. The register-wheel 42is provided with a ratchet 48, Fig. 28, engaged 'by a pawl 49, and the latter when operated 34, and at its lower end pivoted to the registerframe 39, as at 52. The teeth of the ratchet 48 are formed of alternate sizes--that is to say, one tooth is smaller than the other. The regi'stering-wheel 42 is employed for registering the cash amounts equal to five centsthat is to say, it registers the five-cent purchases one at a time. No purchase less than five cents can be registered by the wheel 42. The periphery 0f the wheel is arranged with alternate characters, as 5 O, and the larger teeth of the ratchet 48 are arranged at the side of the naughts and the smaller teeth of the ratchet 48 at the side of the fives. The

actuating-arm 51 is operated by means of the in the supports 2 and 3, and the cams 53 are arranged back of the cams 20. The auxiliary cams 53, at their lower ends, are constructed in a curvilinear manner,'the function of which will be hereinafter referred to. The actuatingarm 51 is pivotally connected. asat55, to one of the auxiliary cams 53. The cams 20 or what may be termed the primary cams are adapted to register a purchase or sale of the Value of from ten to ninety cents and the auxiliary cams are adapted to register the five-cent sales only that is to say, if there be a purchase or sale amounting to sixty-five key-lever will register sixty cents. while the auxiliary cam 53. for its respective key-have! will register the liver-ems, making. tlwr i'ore,

a total registration of sixty-five cents. The inner'portion of each of the key-levers'6 employed for registering a purchase or sale from ten to ninety-five cents is provided with a stud 56, Fig. 33, for actuating. the primary cams 2.0, and the inner portion of each of the key-levers 6 for indicating purchases or sales amounting to five, fifteen, twenty-five, thirtyfive, forty-five, fifty-five, sixty-five, seventyfive, eighty five, and ninety-five cents, respectively, is each provided with an actuating-stud 57, Fig. 33, for the auxiliary'cam's 53.. Prefer-- ably the studs 56 are on the opposite side of the key-levers to. thatof the studs 57.

Assuming that the registering-wheels 42 and 43 are set at zerothat isto say, no sales or purchases have been r'e'gisteredand it is desired to register a sixty-five-cent sale,.the key-lever carrying the indication for sixtyfive cents is depressed, which will move the shaft 41, so the pinion 40 will engage the register-wheel 43. (The operating means for the shaft 41 will be hereinafter referred to, butit may be well to state that said operating means is actuated throughthe depression of the keylever.) againstthe beveled face of its respective cam 20 and bodily move the entire series of cams 20. This operation is as follows: The lower portion of the cam will be moved forwardly and theupper portion rearwardly, carrying the arm 35 therewith, as well as the link 36,

pinion 40, will .partly rotate the'registeringwheel 43 in such a manner as to move the same so that the numeral 6 thereof will appear at a sight-opening provided for the registering mechanism. Simultaneously with the operation of the primary earns 20 the stud 57 of the key-lever will engage its respective auxiliary cam 53, rocking the shaft 54, moving the cams 53 forwardly, so that the actuating-arm 51 wi ll also be moved forwardly, and impart a like movement to the pawl 49, which, engaging in the ratchet 48, will then move the registering-wheel 42 so that the character 5 will appear at the sight-opening for the registering mechanism and in parallel alinement with the character 6 upon the register-wheel 43, therefore indicating that a purchase or sale amounting to sixty-live cents has been registered.

The registeringmechanism is provided with a transferring means adapted to be used, for example, when the wheel 42 shows a registration of live and a sale of five cents is made, the transferring mechanism when operated 'will act upon the wheel .43, giving it an impulse, so the total registration will be ten at the same time the cams Will give the IIGCBSSAIZY cents the )l'lnlill ($3.111 20 ft)! its IOS )OClZlVU movement to the wheel 42 to show the 0,?

, on when a sale or purchase of fifteen cents is The stud 56 on the key-lever will ride tered, to make the total registration eighty cents. In thisparticular the wheel 43 has recording-figure 6 exposed and the wheel 42 has recording figure exposed, the cams and'53 will impart movement to the wheels 43 and 42so as to register 7 0, respectively, and then the transferring mechanism will also come into operation and move the ing mechanism for recording sales or purchases from a five to a ten or a fifteen to a twenty or a twenty-five to a thirty cent purchase, and so on to a ninety-five to ahundred. The example referred to for recording a fifteen-cent sale to a sixty-five cent registered is used for the reason, as hereinbefore referred to, that the recorded sale was sixty-five cents. The transferring mechanism consists of a "transferring-arm 58in the form of a bellcrank lever, and which is pivoted, as at 59, to a plate 60, supported by the frame 39 of the registering mechanism. The longer arm of the bell-crank 58 extends through the slot 30 in the transferring-bar 27 Fig. 31. The lever 58 is adapted to keep the spring 32 on the bar 27 in a state of compression and the notch 28, formed in thebar 27, from engagement with the arm 35, or, in other words, the function of lever 58 is to prevent the movement of the bar 27 and to retain the bar 27 in such position that the notch 28 will be at one side of the-arm 35, as shown in Fig. 26. The shorter arm of the lever 58 is fixedly connected to the forward end of an actuator-bar 61, the latter connected at its rearward end to the arm 35, Fig. 29. The function of the actuator-bar 61 is to'rock the arm 35 so it will carry the link 36 rearwardly, operating thereby the quadrant 37 and rotating the registering-wheel 43. The lever 58 is prevented from.

movement by means of a trip-arm 62, Fig. 28, which is pivoted, as at 63, Fig. 28, to the back of the register-frame 39. The trip-arm 62 is in the form of a bell-crank and is adapted to have its lower portion engage with the lever 58 to lock it from movement.- The upper end of the trip-arm has connected thereto a spring 62' for normally retaining the triparm in its operative position',as shown in Fig. 28. The trip-arm is released by means of a pawl 63", which'is suitably pivoted to the frame 39 and 'held in engagement with the ratchet of the registering-wheel .42 by means of the'spring 63 suspended from the frame 39. When'the forward end of the pawl 63 rides over'a long tooth of the ratchet 48 of the registering-wheel 42, the outer end of the pawl 63 is pressed down upon the upper por-' tion of the trip-arm 62 and-forces it from engagement with. the lever 58, so that the latter will be released and movement imparted thereto through the medium of the spring 32 on v the bar 27 The reference character 64 denotes a returnlever for bringing the transferringmechanism into its inoperative position. This lever 6%]: is pivoted at to the frame 39 of the registering mechanism, and its upper end extends through an opening in the plate 60. The lower end of the lever 6 L projects 'rcarwardly at an angle and is adapted to be engaged-by the up\\ 'ardlymovable bar 66, forming a part of a rocking frame to be hereinafter referred to and which is loosely connected with the shaft 7 by means of the arms 67, also forming a part of said rocking frame, to be hereinafter referred to. The lever 6 inits normal position engages the shorter arm of-the lever 58, and when a key-lever is depressed the bar 66 is elevated, releasing the lever 64 so it will be free of engagement with the shorter arm of the lever 58, the lever 58 riding over the trip-arm 62 and carries the upper portion of the lever 6i foiwvardly--that is when the trip-arm 62 is actuated-that is to say, the lever 6 lis free of the bar 66 when one of the key-levers is depressed and remains in its normal position unless the trip-arm 62 is actuated. When the trip-arm 62 is actuated or lowered through the intervention of the pawl 63', the upper end of-the lever 58 will ride over the lower portion of the trip-arm 62, the lever 64 being carried forward by the shorter arm .of the lever 58, and when the bar 66 is lowered it will engage the lower end of the lever 6d and swing the upper end thereof rearwardly, so that it will assist in bringing the lever 58 to its inoperative position and so that the lever 58 can be engaged by the lower portion of the trip-arm 62, thereby locking the lever 58 from movement. It will be evident from the operation as described that the registering-wheel 43 will then be moved by the transferring mechanism a sufiicient distance to record the proper amount on the wheelthat is to say, the studs 56 and57-on the key-lever carrying the fifteen-cent indication will actuate in a manner, as hereinbefore set forth, the registering-wheels 4:2 and 43, the registering-wheel l2 to zero or naught, and the registering-wheel 4C3 to 7. which will be parallel with the naught on the register-wheel 42, recording 70 on the register. The transferring mechanism will at the same time come into operation and impart an additional impulse to the register-wheel43, moving it to bring the registering character 8 parallel with the naught on the registeringwhecl 42, thereby recording the proper amount of the sale,which will be added to the recorded sixty-live, making the total registration eighty. The link 36 is connected by acoiled returning-spring 67, Fig. 29, to the registerframe 39.

This spring .67 is adapted to return the link 36, to its normal position. The

register-wheel 43 is prevented from moving in one direction by means of a'pawl 67, which is pivoted at one end, as at 67, to the register frame '39., The free end of the pawl 67 b engages in the ratchet 67 on the wheel 43 for-the purpose just set forth, Fig. 27. The beveled edges of the primary cams 20are graduated in size, so that a cam 20 will remaii in engagement long enough with its respective stud'of -.-the key-lever, so that the requi-' site movement-will be imparted to the regising-wheel 43.-

The registering mechanism hereinbefore referredto is adapted for use in connection with recording the amount of sales or purchases from five cents to ninety-five cents, inclusive,

andthe mechanism for recording the sales above ninety-five cents is as follows:

We have shown the register adapted for recording sales'to four dollars and ninety-five cents at one time, and for which purpose four additional key-levers are employed-namely,

one, two, three, and four dollars; but it is obvious that the number of the dollar key-levers can be increased, if desired.

The reference character 68, Fig. 31, denotes the secondary cams for use in connection with the dollar bank of key-levers (indicated by the reference character 69) and which are arranged at the side of the cams 20. The upper ends of the cams 68 are mounted-upon a rock-shaft 70, supported by the arms 71, connected to the bar 17, and connected to the cams 68, approximately centrally thereof, is a stay :or reinforcing rod 72. The cams 68 have their lower portions beveled at their inner edges, as at 73, in a graduating manner or in the same manner as the cams 20.

The reference character 74 denotes a pain of plates which project above the earns 68 and support a rock-shaft 7 5, carrying on its inner end a vertically-extending stud 76, to which is connected the link 77. The plates 74 also carry a transversely-movable transferring-bar 78. The latter has on its-outer end a fixed collar 79 and at one-side of the plate 74 a sliding collar 80, between which is arranged a coiled compression-spring 81. The collar 80 bears against a guide 81 for the bar 78. The inner end of the bar7 8 is provided with a'slot 82, the function of which will be hereinafter referred to. The bar 7 8 is further provided with a notch 83, in which is adapted to be seated the actuating-arm 84, carried by the rock-shaft 75. Then the bar 78 is moved transversely, the notch 83 is adapted to receive the arm 84. r

The reference character 85, Fig. 26, denotes a three-armed lever, which is pivoted, as at 86, to the plate 60-of the register-frame 39 and has one arm suitably connected, as at 87,

to the actuating-link 88. v The latter is con' 85 in its inoperative position. The link 77 is connected at its lower end to the toothed quadrant 90, Fig. 1, the latter meshing with and operating the clutching-pinion 91, Fig; 25, mounted upon the shaft 41. The pinion 91 carries a plate 92, provided with pins 93.

adapted to engage in the registering-wheel 44, the latter on one side being provided with openings to receive the pins 93. The pinionclutch 91 is brought into engagement with the register-wheel 44 by means of a shifting-arm 94. This arm is pivoted to an extension of the frame 39, as at 94, and at its upper end extends through a slot 95 in the shaft 41, Fig. 25. The shaft 41' carries a coiled compres+ sion-spring 96, Fig. 1, and also carries a sleeve 97 for the purpose of compressing the spring 96 when the shaft 41 is moved by means of the arm 94. The lower end of the .latter .is beveled, as at 98, and is in contact withastud 99, carried by the bar 66, Fig. 25. When the bar 66 is elevated through the action of depressing a key-lever of the bank 69 or 6, the

stud 99, riding against the beveled end of the rod 94, will rock the same on its pivot-and] transversely move the shaft 41, so that the clutchingepinion 91 will engage the registering-wheel 44 or the clutching-pinion 40 will engage the registering-wheel 43. Each of the keys 69 is provided witha pin or stud 100, Fig-33, adapted to contact with the.beveled edges 73 of the earns 68. to record a dollar sale, the respective key 'of the bank 69 is depressed, causing the stud 100 thereof to ride against the face of, its respective cam 68, forcing the lower portion of the cams 68 forwardly and the upper portion thereof rearwardly. Such movement will carry the link 7 7 therewith and impart .move

ment to the quadrant which meshing with the pinion-clutch 91 will impart the. desired When it is desired,

movement to the registering-wheei44, so that the proper recording will be made. Simultaneously with the movement imparted to the cams68 by means ofa key-lever of the bank 69 the key-lever will elevate the bar 66, -so that the stud 99 will ride against the shiftingarm 94 and bring the clutch-pinion 91 into engagement with the registering-wheel 44, so that the same will be rotated through the medium of the quadrant 90 and link 77. registering-wheels 44 45 46 are provided with suitable connecting means for imparting the necessary rotation for recording, as occasion requires. This means is of the ordinary construction in devices of this character.

The transferringmechanism employed for trip-hook-89 is pivoted, as at 103, to the register-frame 39. When the pin 101 elevates the arm 102, the trip-hook 89 is lowered, re-

mechanism used in connection with the regis teri-ng of the dollar sale operates in the same manner as the transferring mechanism hereinbefore referred to for the sales up to ninetyfive cents, and it' is thought unnecessary to.

further describe the same.

The reference character 104:,Fig. 27, denotes a lever pivoted, as at 105, to the frame 39 for returning the lever to its normal or inoperative position. The lower end of the lever 104, which extends rearwardly, is adapted to be retained in its operative position by the bar 66. When the bar 66 is elevated by depressing a key-lever of the bank 69, and the arm 102 is released when the lever 85 swings on its pivot 86, owing to the fact that the triphook 89 has been lowered, the lever 85 will carry the upper end of the lever 104: therewith, and when the bar 66 is brought to its normal position it will carry the upper end of the lever rearwardly at the same time one of the arms of the lever 85 and return the lever 85 to its inoperative position and hold it there. The arm 102 is connected to a spring 106, so that it will return the trip-hook 89 to its normal position and engage with the free arm of the lever 85, when the lever 85 is returned to its normal position through the intervention of the lever 104C.

Preferably the frame 39 for the registering mechanism is supported upon a fiat plate 107, arranged near the front of the machine at an inclination and secured to the supports 2 3, although the frame 39 can be. arranged at any position desired within the machine.

Each of the key-levers of the banks 6 and 69 is provided with stop-pins 108, Fig. 33, for limiting the forward movement of the lower part of the cams 20 and 68.

The bar 51 connected to the auxiliary cams is provided with a coil-compression spring 109 for' normally returning it to its inoperative or r normal position.

The cash changing and delivering mechanism comprises a cash separating and deliver- 1ng mechanism, Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, which is arranged at. the front of the machine, so

that the cash can be inserted therein, and is also arranged above the cash or coin tubes or receptacles 110,111,112, 113, and 11 1. The coin tubes and receptacles virtually form a part of the change mechanism and are preferably arranged at the front of the machine at the side of the register-frame 39. These coin tubes and receptacles will be hereinafter described; but it will be well to state that the tube 110 is for the dollars, the tube 111 for the half-dollars, the tube 112 for the quarters, the tube 113 for the dimes, and the tube 114 for the nickels. The lower portion of the cash. separating and delivering mechanism is arranged above the upper end of these tubes. The rear portion of the latter at their upper ends projects rearwardly.

The coin separating and delivering mechanism comprises a front plate'l 15 and a rear plate 116, Fig. 5'. These plates are suitably spaced apart and cut away, so as to form an upper chute 117 and a lower chute 118. The upper chute 117 extends downwardly at an inclination, as well as the lower chute 118; but the lower chute 118 extends in an opposite direction to that of the chute 117 and is somewhat longer. The two chutes are suitably connected together and also braced apart by means of a vertically-extending rod 119. If desired, the upper and lower chutes may be constructed of a single casting instead of formed from the separate plates and 116. The upper chute 117 near its upper end is provided with a slightly-inclined slot 120 and at its lower end with a vertically-extending slot 121. In the top of the chute 118, where it joins the chute 117, a pair of slots extending diagonally in opposite directions is provided, as at 122. The slots 120, 121, and 122 extend entirely through their respective chutes. Extending rearwardly at the upper end of the chute 117 is a curved plate 123, provided with a longitudinally-extending slot 121, Fig. 6, and upon the plate 123 operates an actuating-slide 125 for operating the cash separating and delivering mechanism. The inner face of the slide 125 is connected to an elongated trip-lever 126, Figs. 5 and 6, provided at its lower end with a hook 127. The trip-lever 126 is of a length sufficient so that the hook 127 will engage the bottom of the chute 118. The trip-. lever 126 is fulcrumed, as at 128, to the studs 129, carried on the inner face of the chute 118. The trip-lever 126 extends through the slot 124 in the plate 123 and carries on its upper end immediately below the plate 123 an actuatingfinger 130. The finger 130 is cut away at its free end so as to contact with and operate a lever mechanism for locking the key-levers and' also for operating a detecting mechanism for throwing out cents and'nickels, as no change is given for them by the machine, as well as throwing out counterfeit coin.
